I have a '73 mgb, (not running, body good), and a Ford Van.
I have found that the ford van I have has 4.0l variant of a 60 degree v6 Cologne engine. https://www.babcox.com/editorial/ar/ar40123.htm.
I am thinking of transplanting engine, tranny, rearend out of the van into the 'B.
I am looking for someone who may have done this; or know someone who may have done this. I drove the 'B for 10yrs with the 1.8, but am looking for more power. I don't want to trash the handling, but what I am looking for here is a a bit of a cruiser, with some power and torque and the the persona of a retro racer (For the twisties I have a '91 MR2 turbo).
I have owned a '73 mgb for 21 years.
